Hi Skarts

I'm happy you have these pictures. The info of Ypenburg has been useful to two members of WAF.

If some day you want to sell these pictures, please, let me now.

Thank you for showing your photos.

Very nice to see what happens when paperwork and pictures come together and names can be put to faces

5./fjr2

I bought some docs and photos of a member of 5./FJR2 who was killed in Kreta. His name was Johann Bruchardt and was Gefreiter.


There are a little photograph and a big size painted portrait of Johann Bruchardt

Before showing the images, I want to thank WAF members "Gerdan" and "Pauke" for helping me to "translate" the text of the photographs.

Does anybody know if "Leutnant Krückeberg" could be Roland Krückeberg (born 11.08.1918 - KIA 23.05.1941 in Kreta)?

There is a big deathcard too ...

[Tom B]

Very nice quality death card

[windhund]

Thank you Tom. It´s a big deathcard.

There are more things like this letter



It is a letter where Ewald, the kp Führer (Oberleutnant Hans Thiel was KIA in Kreta), explained to Bruchardt´s family where he died. Johann Bruchardt was killed in action in Pyrgos during the second day of the fight when 5 and 6./FJR2 jumped near Maleme´s airport to help their comrades who were fighting for conquering the airport of Malemes

Last item of the group. A little photograph album.



























In the last photo there is a name, Friedrich Adler (Thanks Pauke for identifying the name). Maybe another fj friend of Bruchardt who wanted to give this present to Bruchardt´s family.
